This is why wax removal matters before audiology testing! 🙏🏽👍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before referring patients for their hearing test, it’s essential to ensure the ear canal is clear of wax to allow for accurate assessment and diagnosis. ✅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s why it matters ⬇️
1️⃣ Wax can block conduction, especially during tympanometry and pure tone testing.
2️⃣ Occluded canals often lead to unnecessary referrals or repeat tests.
3️⃣ Patients with impacted wax may experience symptoms that mimic hearing loss, such as fullness, tinnitus, or muffled hearing.
